More on PEAR::SOAP and SSL

Like some previous people on this list, I've tried to run a PEAR::SOAP web service over SSL, where PEAR::SOAP is used for both the client and the service. I always get this error from my client code (with tracing): OUTGOING: [...] INCOMING Error! soap_fault Object ( [error_message_prefix] => [mode] => 1 [level] => 1024 [code] => Parser [message] => couldn't build response [userinfo] => [callback] => ) which is the failure others have gotten as well. I tried the suggestion of Peter Clarke and modified HTTP.php to turn off the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFY{HOST,PEER} settings, so that certificates wouldn't be checked, but that didn't change anything. But in any case, it's the certificates I'm trying to get to work.... I set up a self-signed certificate, and the Apache server side certificate seems to be ok (it gets processed ok by browser access on a web page). However, it isn't clear to me how the client side certificate is supposed to work for web services. How does the client PHP code know where it is? Is there some API call or property or environment variable or something that needs to be set in order to tell the client PHP SOAP library where the certificate/keystore/whatever is? Does anyone have an end-to-end example which shows how SSL- and certificate-based PEAR::SOAP is supposed to work? Thanks very much ... Jonathan Schilling The SCO Group jls@sco.com
